Performance Desktop PCIe 3.0 x16 (128Gbps) upstream port PCI-Express expansion enclosure particularly design for GPU cards (Available up to 4* double width PCIe Gen3 slots)
The Netstor NA255A GPU enclosure implements the latest PCIe 3.0 technology and PCIe Gen3 16-lane host interface with throughput 8Gbps per lane, offering blazing-fast data transfer rates up to 128Gbps between host and expansion enclosure, dedicated for GPU-accelerated applications.
The GPU chassis is designed to have 4 PCIe x16 slots (x8 electrical)1 on NA255A backplane supporting up to 4 double-width PCIe Gen3 GPU cards, or single-slot PCIe cards. In addition, the enclosure can accommodate all combinations of PCIe 3.0 ×1, ×4, ×8 and ×16 GPU/PCIe cards for every application with backward compatibility for Gen2 cards to work with host, server or workstation in areas such as HPC, telecom, and data centers.
Dedicated 1200W PSU for GPU Application
Newest high-end or enthusiast GPU cards generally require high power wattage for work; considering the hi-power requirement aspect, Netstor has considerately planned a dedicated, high-efficient 1200W power supply unit in the GPU enclosure to allow up to 4 high-performing graphics cards to process with top reliability and stability.
Supplementary 6+2 pin PCI-E Power Cables
Netstor NA255A GPU enclosure has been thoughtfully designed to provide extra PCI-E power cables to meet each GPU card's supplementary power requirement. Furthermore, any combinations of 6-pin and 8-pin PCI-E power connectors on every graphics card are supported by NA255A.
Traditional host computer or workstation only has CPU and regular GPU to work with professional applications. However, these conventional data processors cannot even provide a higher processing to meet modern working demands. Hence, by adding the Netstor NA255A GPU enclosure with up to four high-end GPU cards to your host/workstation can let your conventional host computer turn into a supercomputing or high-performance computing workstation.
In view of some high-performance GPU card with card length up to 30 cm or so, due to card's heavier weight and longer length, a special graphics card holder has been deliberately designed close to each PCIe slot for holding the large, heavy GPU card thoroughly and reliably within the NA255A enclosure.
NA255A is equipped with two front large 12x12 cm cooling fan modules with each fan in support of 75 CFM, providing best airflow ventilation to enclosure for most excellent heat dissipation ever, and ensuring graphics cards within chassis can run long term without any high temp concern. Moreover, the fan speed of each cooling fan can be adjusted manually according to GPUs application situation within NA255A GPU chassis.
The Nvidia and AMD GPU cards that are compatible and work greatly with Netstor NA255A enclosure include Nvidia GeForce 10 / 900 series, Quadro P6000 / M6000 series and AMD Radeon RX, R9 series, FirePro W9100 / 9000 series.
